Abstract

Referring in a plural case to “sexualities” indicates significantly more than a contemporary strategy at being inclusive across a spectrum of sexual diversity. Given the less than optimum ways many people have been, and still are, treated, based on minority sexual identity, or their attractions, practices or gender differences, then using the plural case is a poignant reminder of the full wealth of humanity and not simply majoritarian representations of it.
